KNMS

Kee-Nee-Moo-Sha 2015 with the Benson clan.  Ice Cream social on Sunday!

The Skipper and his crew set sail for their "3-Hour Tour".  The water looks calm now but little did they know that once they rounded the point they would face a fierce wind and white caps that would flip the SS Minnow and send the Skipper, Gilligan and Mary Ann overboard in the weeds and rough rocks near shore.  Talk about making memories!


Annual tradition of making Tie-Die Shirts.




They ever-popular waterslide.  Each year the kids get more daring and the pile-ups at the bottom of the slide keep getting bigger.

Nice form Joel!
Grant honing is kayak skills all by himself - he essentially refused to let anyone go with him and help him out.
Joel chugging his 3rd Dew of the day before Mom catches him.

Joel and Grant really got in to fishing with wax worms this year - fishing off the dock or on the paddleboats every day.




Grant probably just lost at HORSE or Tetherball or Whiffleball or something....
New KNMS craft - Decorating coffee mugs.  Patriot and Seahawk mugs of course.



Lincoln alone provide hours of entertainment for the Joel, Grant and Jayna.

Heading off to Frosty's for Ice Cream.  We had the whole crew in the boat - less Mitch.  We were riding pretty low and adding Mitch may have cause another "SS Minow" incident.







Off to Woman Lake Lodge for donuts!








Dad teaching Grant how to play a little old school Strato-Matic baseball.

Baseball

2015 baseball season was big success.  This is the boys last year in coach pitch and they really hit the ball!  They improved their fielding and throwing throughout the season and most importantly had fun and are looking forward to playing traveling ball in 2016.  Mitch helped me out coaching this year which was a lot of fun.  The kids only really cared in Mitch was there.  If he had to work or had FB practice and couldn't be there the whole team was disappointed.
